Story behind the song
Born out of conversations between an addict and a social worker.
She encourages him to shed the self pity, stop dramatizing and wallowing in despair. She asks him to shed the darkness and come into the light of hope and renewal.
Lyrics
I wasn’t born yesterday
You say that God is dead, but I still pray.
I’ve been around long enough to know,
IF you live in the light the darkness will go
You’re so sad baby.
You’re so mad
Oh I don’t get it
You’re telling me that you don’t believe
Oh stop killing yourself
There was a time when I felt like dying
It was a line, so now I’m not buying it
You’re telling me that you don’t believe
I wasn’t born yesterday
You say that God is dead
But I still pray
I’ve been around long enough to know
IF you live in the light the darkness will go
Now its time for some changes
You can re-arrange this
Your hope is gone but it won’t be long,
if you believe in yourself.
You’re so sad baby
You’re so mad baby
You’re telling me that you don’t believe,
Oh stop l killing yourself
I wasn’t born yesterday
You say that God is dead, but I still pray
I’ve been around long enough to know,
If you live in the light the darkness will go.
(If you live in the light) - whispered
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
You’re so sad Baby
You’re so mad
Oh I don’t get it
You’re telling me that you don’t believe
Oh stop killing yourself
I wasn’t born yesterday
You say that God is dead, but I still pray
I’ve been around long enough to know,
IF you live in the light the darkness will go.
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
I wasn’t born yesterday
You say that God is dead, but I still pray.
I’ve been around long enough to know,
IF you live in the light the darkness will go,
I wasn’t born yesterday
You say that God is dead, but I still pray.
I’ve been around long enough to know,
If you live in the light the darkness will go.
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
If you live in the light
